Using rescheduling messages

Rescheduling messages are displayed when you modify the planning or the delivery dates and provide information if the orders must be canceled or rescheduled. You can view the rescheduling messages in these sessions:

  • Rescheduling Messages for Material (tppss6505m000)
  • Rescheduling Messages for Equipment (tppss6506m000)
  • Rescheduling Messages for Subcontracting (tppss6507m000)

You can print the rescheduling message using the Print Rescheduling Messages (tppss6405m000) session.

The rescheduling message options are:

  • Reschedule in
  • Reschedule out
  • Cancel

Reschedule in

The order must be delivered earlier because there is a discrepancy between the delivery date on the order and the required delivery date. This discrepancy can be caused by:

  • The start date of the element (if not available, the project start date) is brought forward.
  • The start date of the activity budget line is brought forward (either manually or as a result of changes in the external scheduling package).
  • The delivery date of the order is deliberately postponed.

Reschedule out

The order can be delivered later because there is a discrepancy between the delivery date on the order and the required delivery date. This discrepancy can be caused by:

  • The start date of the element (if not available, the project start date) is postponed.
  • The start date of the activity budget line is postponed (either manually or as a result of changes in the external scheduling package).
  • The delivery date of the order is deliberately brought forward.

Cancel

The order must be cancelled because the quantity of the order exceeds the available quantity. This discrepancy can be caused by:

  • Reductions in the activity or element budget
  • Cancelation of a budget line
  • Over-ordering

Note: Rescheduling messages are created (again) when you run the Generate Planned PRP Orders (tppss6200m000) session.
